Five employees were bound as robbers with guns stole cash from an event at the Brampton facility early Sunday morning.

Five employees were tied up as armed robbers stole cash collected from an event at the Wild Water Kingdom in Brampton early Sunday morning.

Peel police Const. Lilly Fitzpatrick said the employees were counting the money collected during the water park’s Beach Club Festival and preparing it for deposit in the park’s office area.

Four masked men, three of them armed with handguns, entered the area and tied up the employees’ hands, fleeing the scene with an undetermined amount of money shortly after 5 a.m.

“There had been paid duty officers present for the event until 4 a.m.,” when the beach-theme festival ended, Fitzpatrick said. The park’s own security services weren’t present at the time of the robbery either.

The employees did not sustain any injuries during the incident and are being interviewed by police. Police are also checking if any security footage may be available

Fitzpatrick said nothing else was stolen.

“It looks like the cash was probably the target,” she said.

The park was closed on Sunday as police continued investigating.

A post on Wild Water Kingdom’s Facebook page stated, “Thank you to everyone for all of your concerns and well wishes. All staff are safe and we will be opening the park (Monday).”
